A patient is redirecting 3.5% of her income tax to help change the Romanian healthcare system 

After having received a difficult diagnosis, a patient wants to change the conditions in Romanian hospitals. Adelina has redirected 3.5% of her income tax towards Dăruiește Viață. A small gesture with enormous potential, that you, too, can make online, in just 3 minutes, using this link

After being diagnosed with a severe disease, Adelina has decided to get involved 

Adelina is a 36 year-old teacher. On the 31st of December 2019, on New Year’s Eve, she was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia. How did she take the news? “I was shocked. I was told I had no chance of surviving and it was too late for me.” 

The next months were difficult: the tests, the treatment and the side effects. Adelina no longer had the courage to think about the future: “I felt like the people around were treating me as if I only had days to live.” But she found strength in her daughter: she had someone to keep fighting for. 

Adelina is fine now, optimistic and grateful, but she wishes the Romanian healthcare system were different. That’s why she has redirected 3.5% of her income tax towards Dăruiește Viață, she’s trying to convince her co-workers to get involved and she’s told her students about the Children’s Hospital in Bucharest, built using only donations. 

You, too, can redirect 3.5% of your income tax. Why? 

Because it won’t cost you anything, but the impact can be huge. Last year, Dăruiește Viață got approx. 10,000 forms filled out on their website and raised approx. EUR 800,000. This would be enough, for instance, to renovate an adult Oncology floor in a hospital. In 2023, they want to get 20.000 forms. With your help. 

What’s the potential? In 2020, according to data collected by ANAF and processed by ARC, more than 6 mil. individuals could have redirected 3.5% of their income tax. However, only 29% did, the smallest percentage in the past few years. The average value of a form is estimated at RON 135, quite a lot, considering that the only thing an employee needs to do is fill out Form No. 230. 

Your gesture means a lot. Because there’s no better cause than life. Thank you for standing together with Dăruiește Viață. Invite your colleagues to join you and redirect 3.5% of their income tax.
